About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for friends :) and family for over 9 years. I am comfortable handling all dogs, cats & and even bunnies!!! I truly love them all! I believe man’s best friend deserves plenty of love, attention, and care. :). I understand that busy schedules can sometimes make it hard to give pets all the time they need, and I’d love to help provide that extra support. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, walks, cuddles, or companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently back in school full-time pursuing another degree, and when I’m not in class or studying, you’ll usually find me outside enjoying the sunshine. I have fond memories of working for a family friend as a dog walker during my undergraduate years, and now that I’m back in school as a postgraduate student, I’d love the opportunity to help fellow pet owners again. I’m very dependable, detail oriented, and a strong rule follower who appreciates clear instructions and routines. I will carefully follow your pet care guidelines to make sure your pups stay safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care. I’m also mindful about respecting your home and ensuring both your dogs and cats are well cared for every step of the way.
“Ali is amazing with my fearful dog. She is patient, great at reading my dog's body language and is very knowledgeable about training. I would definitely recommend her,”

“Amazing communication, took care of everything in a timely matter and all of my animals absolutely loved spending time with Nicolas! Thank you so much for the last minute assistance and I absolutely plan on using Nicolas in the future”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and for the past two years I’ve been dedicated to pet sitting with a lot of love and attention. I live with Hickory, my sweet 3-year-old husky–lab mix—he gets along with everyone, loves outdoor activities, and brings a calm, friendly energy to every dog he meets. I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with walks, feeding, playtime, and daily routines. I always make sure each pup feels safe, loved, and excited to be here! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of free hours to spend with your pups. I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays depends on the day. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra playtime, or just some cozy company, I can easily fit their needs into my routine. I live in a cozy apartment with a private patio where dogs can relax, sniff around, and enjoy some fresh air in a safe space. My building also has its own dog park, which is perfect for playtime, exercise, and safe socialization. Hickory, my sweet and friendly 3-year-old husky–lab mix, loves meeting new friends and brings a calm, social energy to visiting pups. I’m very attentive to routines, safety, and each dog’s individual needs—I can follow specific instructions, keep things peaceful for shy dogs, or provide extra activity for energetic pups. If your dog needs crate time, I can easily accommodate that. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, secure, and truly cared for.
“Brandy was amazing! Brandy often showed up early, sent me numerous pictures (which helped with the nerves), played with Souliel, and picked up after any accidents. She was respectful of my home and my girl looked forward to seeing her daily. Highly recommend and would book again in a heartbeat!”


About: Experience dog owner who specializes in large breeds. I would love to be your go to when life gets busy. Making sure you know your pets will be taken care of and safe is my number one priority. I have two large dogs at home, my senior German is on all kinds of pain management meds so I'm used to taking care of animals with more needs. I can also wrangle in our 4 year old German husky mix. I love dogs of all sizes and would love to spoil them on a walk. I'm super observant, my senior is not super friendly so I'm always making sure she's safe when she's with me on walks. I am currently not working so my schedule is open, I just ask if you need to cancel give me as much notice as you can! I understand boundaries and will treat your pet and home with the same respect. Just let me know what you need from me to be happy moving forward!
About: I grew up in "Charlotte's Web" (my mother). From being raised among and caring for everything from goats to reptiles to doggos and cats, connecting with animals has been a lifelong passion. I have 5+ years experience on Rover and 20 years independently. I have fostered , adopted and cared for a full range of low to high needs cats and dogs throughout my life. I consider my curiosity for and ability to empathize with our furry friends a core part of who I am and what brings me joy in life. I'd be honored to earn that trust with you and your furry loved one(s). I work from home full time and am able to provide love , care and exercise for your loved one on a fully flex schedule. Currently , I am available on a full time basis , seven days a week. I am very attuned to different breeds of dogs in particular and know how to serve the spectrum of needs around giving them space, attention and exercise according to their breed, temperament and age. I know this is all best lead by you, a loving pet parent and it is my goal to replicate your care routine at your home in mine.

About: I think what sets me apart from other sitters is my determination, admiration, and respect for all. I take all comments and concerns as a growing opportunity for my own experience and also to better the experience of your pets. I work graveyard 5 days a week, and I find myself wanting to detach and find comfort in another opportunity as well as keeping my original job. I am good with communication and will always find a way to work around my schedule, compromise, while also taking consideration of the owners schedule. I will first make sure your pet is comfortable with me in their presence and asking the owners about their personality and what the pets routine is throughout the day/night. I am a list person and will always make sure to check all the boxes as needed. While also developing a kind friendship with your pet.

About: "Experienced Pet Care Specialist: Dedicated to Providing Exceptional Love and Attention for Your Furry Friends! Plus I take videos of our walks and send them to you! Given my passion for personal growth, family, and supporting communities, pet care fits seamlessly into my life by allowing me to connect with others and their pets, providing a service that brings joy and peace of mind to pet owners. It aligns with my values of nurturing relationships and contributing positively to those around you.

About: I've had our corgi/chihuahua mix and dachshund mix for 9 years! They grew up with my husband and I throughout college in Texas until we eventually moved out here to California. They have essentially grown up with us and we love how much they have been apart of our lives! :) I work from home so I will be able to keep them company throughout the day! My work hours are Eastern so I'll be done with my day at 3pm (Pacific) giving me plenty of time to take the dogs out and play, go for a walk, or just hang out :) We live in a two bedroom apartment with large windows. Perfect for pups who love to sunbathe (our dog will happily join them!). Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent care and take dogs out 3–5 times throughout the day. Our building also has a private dog park, and we’re in a very walkable neighborhood, so longer walks and extra exercise are always part of the routine when needed. Our dog, Lilo, is a 9 year old Chihuahua mix who is a bit shy at first and tends to keep to herself, but she warms up over time and enjoys having another dog around. She’s very sweet and would love a new friend!
“I rebooked with Heather and I was very pleased with everything! The updates were very thorough and I came back to very happy cats. I'll be looking to re-book with Heather again!”


About: I’ve been around pets for years and provide reliable, attentive care. I follow routines closely and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. As a college student, I plan my schedule carefully and have consistent free time for pet care, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings very flexible times I prioritize safety and comfort by following each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and in a clean, calm environment. I also keep owners updated for peace of mind.
About: Hey, my name’s Dennise. I’m originally from East LA and have been living all over the last 10 yrs. I’ve had the pleasure of living in Long Beach the last 3 years 🩵 and now I’m looking to care for your animals! I’m passionate about working with kids and animals. I’ve had a lot of experiences while living abroad and here in the states. When it comes to my own animal friends, I’ve had three childhood dogs and I currently have a 1.5 year old calico domestic short haired girl and a betta fish named Jaguar. I’m obsessed with them!! I love spending time with my cat, Azula, especially when we get to train. She’s able to do lots of cool things with positive reinforcement. Besides my own babies, I’ve also been able to interact with many other types of precious animals. All these experiences are special to me and I approach all animals with a calm and gentle energy. I’m very open-minded, caring, patient, passionate, and flexible and I have a lot of love to share. I’m ready to meet you and your baby and I hope you reach out :) I have a very open schedule right now and I’m super flexible. I do a few nannying jobs and pet walking different days of the week and my schedule varies depending on the week. Once we get in contact, I will be able to most likely fit my schedule to yours. I would be able to come to your house and follow your instructions. I’d bring a warm and reassuring energy. I can stay over or come to your house a few times a day. If I felt comfortable with them coming over I would be around a lot of the day with my cat. She’s comfortable with most dogs I’ve brought over.
“Clementine is the absolute best! I can't be happier with her care for my cats. You can tell she is genuine and absolutely love them. I had to delay my return last minute and she was right away willing to help out. Her visit cards are funny and reassuring. You will not regret using her for your fur babies, they will be in the best hands!”


“The lockbox with my house key was jammed & wasn't budging but but Lucia went above & beyond to get it opened. She even brought back some tools to get it opened so she could get to my pup, Cali. This shows she truly cares about the furbabies she looks after & speaks to her work ethic. I highly recommend her, your furbabies will be in great hands!”
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Arash took great care of Leo during our time away. Communication was excellent throughout the booking, and we appreciated the updates after each visit. Leo did very well with Arash too, and it was clear he was well cared for. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Arash went above and beyond, and we would happily book with him again.

Clementine is such a fantastic cat sitter! She was always responsive, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about our cat, Ash, and took the time to make sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing Ash was in such good hands. I would absolutely book Clementine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter for their pet!
needed a sitter relatively last minute. So happy to have found Brandy! so quick to communicate and get details sorted in the short time I had before I needed to leave on a trip. Her professionalism, attention to detail with her obvious care for my cat Sheba’s well-being makes her my first choice for any future needs!

Alissa did a fantastic job watching my cat during an unexpected trip, even on short notice. She sent detailed updates and photos with every visit, and it was such a relief knowing my needy cat was in great hands. He was also very happy, getting lots of head scratches and pets😻. I could be away with peace of mind.

Ryan & Cindy were so wonderful with my cat June. Photos and videos from each drop-in showed how happy she was & made it just a little bit easier to be away from her! Although I know June was a little shy at first, it meant so much to me that they took the time to sit with her & give her time to be comfortable so she could do her favorite activity - play with her string!! I will definitely be booking with them again in the future - thanks for everything :)!
